Emily Haines and The Soft Skeleton - The Lottery - Metric's lead singer makes solo goodness. Sugar-voiced and silky. Owen - Bad News - I've never been able to explain why I like Owen so much. It's just pleasant. Fingerpicking clear acoustic, layers of other texture. Brutally honest lyrics. Mike Kinsella is the man. Fionn Regan - The Underwood Typewriter - another quirky bouncy effort from this talented young UK songwriter. Jamie [...]
